Christmas Eve was fun; the whole shebangs!
The expected family drama certainly did not disappoint.
Pics will be up soon! I promise.
urk. I have a horrid sorethroat! I can't eat any chocolates!! =(
yeesh. My broadband is giving me problems. Kill me now!
A very merry christmas indeed.
I feel like the grinch.
When did we all become such selfish beings?
When we started to grow up.
I was always proud of the fact that I had such an extensive family; when the house was always filled with laughter and noise, when it was comforting to know that I had so many cousins who would always look out for me. My childhood was filled with memories of us playing silly games, hiding in the closet or under the couch, holding hands and walking to the store to get ice-cream, getting scolded for playing soccer under the blistering hot sun, getting squished as we all piled into the car.
I wish it had all stayed that way.
I wish we didn't have to grow up and be faced with the reality of having so may family fueds.
Yes, every family would have its problems, especially one as large as ours. But sometimes, they pick fights over the stupidiest things (and by 'they', I mean the oh-so-mature grown ups). I can't help but feel that because they're life is so unexciting, that they have to resort to creating all this unwanted drama.
Family politics is such a freaking pain in the ass.
I've always been taught to respct my elders. But right now, I can't feel any ounce of respect for them at all. All I feel is an overwhelming disappointment.
I just don't understand why they've decided to this. Not only did the handful of them not consult the rest of the family, but it seems as if they're forcing all of us to participate in this stupid activity.
Are they that ignorant?!
Or are they just simply being the self-centred creatures that they truly are?
Not all of the families can afford to buy presents for all 5 of their kids, gifts for they're other relatives and another 4 more presents. That's precisely why each child was limited to one present last year!
Wow! How noble of you to allow each child to have 2 presents, and even more wonderful of you to allow the child to state their desired gift.
For any adult, and most importantly for any parent to actually agree to such a ridiculous idea is utterly disgraceful. I don't care if they find it disrespectful. In fact, I hope they see this.
Tell me, why on earth would any parent want they're young child to grow up with the absurd notion that it was perfectly fine to state your demands and expect it to be fullfilled? What utter nonsense is this?!
"Christmas is not about presents, but rather about the joy of giving and spending time with your family," is what they say. What complete and blatant hypocrites!
I'm appalled to hear that they would stoop this low, giving stupid excuses that it wouldn't be fair for every child to just recieve one present. Fair?! Since when has life ever been fair?
They've just completely ruined my idea of Christmas. They've totally massacared the meaning of Christmas. They've made Christmas into a time of recieving presents, of quarrels and disagreements, of self-centredness and fullfilling one's selfish wants.
For people who regularly attend church and claim to have complete faith in God, they've definately destroyed one of the most important days in the Bible.
Such irony.
Such naivity;
for me to actually keep telling myself that the previous disagreement would be the last.
Oh sarah, when will you ever learn? When will you finally realise that having all these hopes and expectations will only lead to further disappointment?
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar

Kayaking Expedition was the funnest ever!! :]
Justin's the best captain!!
Evil mosquitoes and baddie sandflies;
Blue and black bruises everywhere;
Wet T-shirt contests;
Smelly sleeping tents;
Long-ass one kilometer walks to the toilet;
Going deaf from hearing Ziwei sing;
Making up different ways to row;
Entertaining everyone with K-Box singalong sessions;
Taking pictures at all the wrong moments;
And everything else in between,makes me feel all shalalalala.
Yup.
Even when handphones, including mine, were ruined.
Even as I'm sitting here, all sunburnt with even my ears flaking.
I can't wait for our Langkawi trip :]
ME BACK NOW!!! :]
did everyone miss me? HAHAHAS.
okie I got to stop laughing now... I'm getting a headache.
Now that I'm back, really got to check back into reality. sigh.
